"The resident of the home came to the door with a gun and threatened police officers," said Kentucky State Police Trooper Kendra Wilson.

Kentucky State Police were called in and set up a perimeter as the suspect barricaded himself inside his home.

"We attempted to contact him by phone to speak with him to come up with some sort of resolution for the problem in a safe manner," said Wilson.

"We got a knock on the door from a police officer who said there's a guy who barricaded himself in the duplex across the street and if at all possible we need to leave," said Bruner.

Police evacuated nearby homes for safety reasons.

"Any time we have an incident like this our first priority is the safety of the public," said Wilson.

Hours went by until eventually police attempted to gain entry to the home, and that's when police said the resident opened fire.

"And then gunfire at about 1 o'clock started firing back and forth, and it was for several minutes. It was a lot of shots, a lot of commotion at that point in time. I'm keeping them on the floor. My daughter is crying, but I'm like, 'You know we are going to be OK. Just stay calm,'" said neighbor Deana Bruner.

The Bruner family stayed hunkered down in a back bedroom. Deana Bruner had just one thought: protecting her kids.

"At that point in time, my mother instincts kicked in and it wasn't about me it was about them," said Deana Bruner.

When the gunfire stopped, the man was dead.

"I can't even comment on mental health issues on that because I don't know that he had any, but this was not a sane thing to do," said Wilson.

Despite all the gunfire, no police officers were hurt during the incident.

The warrants were issued out of Oldham County.

The man was facing six counts for harassing communications and terroristic threatening.
